(a) Total number of discarded skin samples collected per age group for the patient population included in this study. (b) Discarded burn tissue. (c) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of burn tissue showing the loss of epidermal and dermal layers of the discarded burn skin. The inset figure is the magnified field of the section showing presence of collapsed blood vessel within the hypodermal layer (asterisks). (d) Masson’s trichrome stained adipose tissue sections of discarded burn tissue showing collapsed and viable hypodermis (arrows). The figure inset is the magnified field view of the viable hypodermis (asterisks). Original magnification: ×100 (c, d) and ×400 (figure insets).
